the rectangle poster shown at the right measures 2w-30 by w. the poster has an area of 5400 cm^2. what is the value of a?

2 answers:

6 0

This is the concept of algebra, to get the values of the unknown we proceed as follows:
Length=(2w-30) cm
width=w
Area=length×width
=w(2w-30)=5400
=2w^2-30w=5400
hence
2w^2-30w-5400=0
solving the quadratic we get:
w^2-15w-2700=0
thus
(w+45)(w-60)=0
hence
w=-45 or w=60
since there is no negative dimension we shall take w=60
thus the value of w=60

A firm has a revenue function that can be represented by r (x)=700x-0.35x^2, where r (x) is the total revenue (in dollars) and x

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

How many units need to be sold to produce the maximum revenue? 1000 units

How many in dollars is the maximum revenue when the maximum of units are sold? $350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We get max value of a function if we differentiate it and set it equal to 0.

We need to differentiate r(x) and set it equal to 0 and solve for x.

That would be number of units sold to get max revenue.

Then we take that "x" value and substitute into r(x) to get the max revenue amount.

Before differentiating, we see the rules shown below:

$f(x)=ax^n\\f'(x)=n*ax^{n-1}$

Where

f'(x) is the differentiated function

Now, let's do the process:

$r (x)=700x-0.35x^2\\r(x)=700-2*0.35x\\r(x)=700-0.7x\\0=700-0.7x\\0.7x=700\\x=1000$

So, 1000 units need to be sold for max revenue

Now, substituting, we get:

$r (x)=700x-0.35x^2\\r(1000)=700(1000)-0.35(1000)^2\\r(1000)=350,000$

The max revenue amount is $350,000

Emanuel was charged \$32$32dollar sign, 32 for a 14\dfrac29 \text{ km}14 9 2 km14, start fraction, 2, divided by, 9, end fract

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$2.25/km

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost charged for a total taxi ride of $14\frac{2}{9}\ km$ was $32. To get the cost per km, we divide the cost charged for the total taxi ride by the total distance that was traveled by the taxi. The cost per km is given by:

Cost per km = $\frac{Cost \ of\ money\ charged}{Total\ distance}=\frac{\$ 32}{14\frac{2}{9} \ km}=\frac{32}{\frac{128}{9} }= \$2.25/km$

Therefore the cost per kilometer is $2.25 per kilometer. Each kilometer traveled by the taxi cost $2.25.

Diego's sister is twice his age minus 9 years. She is also as old as half the sum of the ages of Diego and both of his 12-year-o

slava [35]

Answer:

Diego is 14 years old.

Sister is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Diego's age

x + 24

2x-9 = 2

First to get rid of the fraction we multiply each side by 2

2(2x-9) = 2((x+24)/2)

4x-18 = x+24

The we isolate x

4x-18 = x+24

-x+18 -x+18

3x = 42 Now we divide each side 3

3 3

x = 14

So Diego is 14

Now we can solve for his sister. We can use one of the two equations from earlier to do this.

Plug 14 in for x and then solve for his sister

2(14)-9

28-9

His sister is 19

Craig ran the first part of a race with an average speed of 8 miles per hour and biked the second part of a race with an average

enot [183]

Then, 15 - x is the distance ran in the second part.
The time, t1, for the first part is t1 = xmi / 8mi/h
The time, t2, for the second part is t2 = (15 - x)mi / 20mi/h
The total time is t1 + t2 = 1.125 h
Then x/8 + (15 - x) / 20 = 1.125
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 40 (this is the least common multiple)
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 15

to find x divide: 15/3=5

And 15 - x = 10 mi.
First part:
Speed: 8mi/h
Distance: 5 mi
Time: 5mi/8mi/h = 5/8 h = 37.5 minutes
Second part
Speed: 20 mi/h
Distance: 10 mi
Average speed: 15mi/1.125h =13.33 mi/h
Distance: 15mi
Time: 1.125 h = 67.5 minutes
